On checks over 1000 bucks my bank only clears 750 a day. Either way you'll have it soon. Get a good parts list together in the next week.
I have a shopping cart ready at summit, LMC, and softopper
Im probably gonna have issues with them OK'ing the purchases next since ill be checking out of those places within an hr on Friday with a total of like $3k
the bank'll think its identity theft

Don't know but I'm pretty Sure it is to protect against fraud if a check won't clear within two days. I would be liable for the money if it was a bad check and I cashed it out for say 4 grand an I pulled the money out And spent it right away on a car or something. So it is fine with me to make sure.
found out after making a few orders that I have a $750 a day limit on the card
luckily softtopper is working with me and are gonna charge me half twice to get the order complete
and summit had part of it back ordered so that cleared... SO... I got the top, lift kit, and drop pitman arm ordered. Hopefully this week I'll be able to get the frame picked up..... he wants to get working on it BAD

Looks like you have plenty of help, it's got to feel good making some progress
Just curious about how solid the rocker boxes were when you pulled the body?

that's what I jacked up with I built a couple of T brackets and used a 3 ton floor jack under each rocker box.
we jacked up the front 6", blocked it, then went and raised the back 6", then reset the fronts and raised more, then built the front bracket.
we then raised the back to height and built that brace.
then just rolled it all out. all the cross bracing on the brackets went in after. it was pretty solid with out it but my buddies kids play in there (9 and 11) so more was better

todays goal is to get the motor, trans, and Tcase off. I'm kinda scared cause theres a tranny leak near the tcase that wasn't there before and the tcase took a hard hit...... so I hope it didn't crack the tranny near the back or something.
